Track 3: Gli Uccelli (Remastered)
A sinuous orchestral introduction guides us into the piece, the first slow track of the album. The lyrics, compared to the two previous ones, do not feature overly complex imagery, but in their simplicity, they hide a very beautiful meaning: the birds that are the protagonists of the song are divine signals, these entities that exist above everything and therefore have a closer connection to the origin of things. Despite the fact that the text expresses this without secret meanings in the verses, we need to pause for two minutes to discuss the chorus: "They open their wings, dive down, land better than airplanes, change the world’s perspectives. Unpredictable flights and very fast ascents, imperceptible trajectories, codes of existential geometries," meaning the birds are not just a form of "divine presence" but are themselves the regulators of existence through the trajectory of their flight.
But one very important thing for the vitality of the piece is the base, which alternates between orchestral and elegant moments to more danceable passages that do not lose a bit of the orchestra’s presence and the elegance that characterizes it; everything explodes at the end of the second chorus when the piece gains speed until the end of the track.
I know this time the listening review is slightly shorter, but this is all I had to say about this track; an extra word, in my opinion, would have spoiled it, and finding other possible hidden meanings would have somewhat ruined the experience of the piece, which manages to thrive in its elegant musicality and its "simple" and poetic lyrics. Nothing more and nothing less.
